- 03/12/2015

The necessary infrastructure to offer federated cloud services was the highlight of the schedule of Cloudscape Brazil 2015, held on December 1 and 2, at the auditorium of the Brazilian Center for Physics Research (Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Físicas - CBPF), in Rio. The event is promoted by the EU Brazil Cloud Connect project and funded by the Brazil-European Union Cooperation Program in the Information and Communication technologies (ICT) segment.

On December 1, the Head of Services and Solutions of The Brazilian National Research and Educational Network (RNP), José Luiz Ribeiro Filho, presented the strategy adopted by Brazil to implement an academic cloud. The purpose is to decrease the fragility of the universities and other research institutions due to the need to store and process a large quantity of data.

The event also presented the selected projects for the 3rd Call Coordinated BR-EU ICT held in the first half of 2015 with themes on Cloud Computing and Experimental Platforms. One of them is the EU Bra-Big Sea, starting from January 2016, which will develop applications in the cloud for analysis of Big Data in massively connected societies. The project will be conducted in partnership with the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and assess typical use cases of smart cities.

Another project, about Experimental Platforms, to be coordinated between Brazil and the European Union is Football, scheduled to start on March, 2016. The goal is to build an experimentation environment to explore the integration between optical networks and wireless networks. According to the researcher from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Cristiano Both, the project could contribute to innovative applications in Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), software-defined networks (SDN), Internet of Things, heterogeneous wireless networks, in addition to filling gaps in Future Internet.
